appearance to a small Gohio j barbels absent j suborbital and interopercular 
bones, with the rami of the mandible, are greatly dilated, and bear septary 
laminae, which separate mucous cavities, relatively as large as those of Ace- 
rina or Percopsis. They extend in two series j seven from the postorbital 
bone to the side of the end of the muzzle, and eight from the same point to 
the symphysis mandibuli. The muzzle overlaps the mandible ; no cartilage 
on the latter. Scales large, the usual surface exposed. Anal, short, origi- 
nating opposite end of depressed dorsal. Origin of ventrals opposite first 
dorsal ray. Pharyngeal bones slender; teeth acutely uncinate-raptatory, 
without masticatory surface, 4.1 +0.4. E. buccata, sp. n., p. 88, from Western 
Pennsylvania.
